    Hello everyone,

    General Information
    In this announcement I will be giving you all simple, yet informative information regarding the upcoming network reset. Please note, this is not the full reset / change log, this is just informing you about what we are doing (this is very vague and may change in the future).

    I would Not be making this post unless we were certain that we're coming close to the reset, AEMNetwork 2.0 (doesn't that just roll off the tongue). We want everyone to get very excited. (#Hype #Hype #Hype) Please let your friends, past and present, know about the reset. We know there have been many players that have left due to lack of updates and staff absence. (We were once 1,000 players strong!) I will let you all know NOW that this is no longer the case. There will be fixes / updates everyday and staff presence will be better than ever. Again, we will be creating a change log upon release for all of you to keep track of the changes / fixes to your beloved AEM.

    News Letter
    During the past few days the team and I have been brainstorming, thinking of ways to get the attention of old players. In doing this we have thought of the idea of a "Network News Letter". The news letter will occur monthly, with all the information of the forums compiled into a short, easy to read letter. Anyone with a forums account will receive this letter, however, there will be the option to unsubscribe from it. We Do Not encourage that, as there will be exclusive content updates, and store coupon codes for the readers.

    Donor Ranks
    Donors ranks will not be nerfed at all. Actually, there're more permissions and better gear for you to enjoy.

    Reminder: there is a 35% off sale currently active! http://shop.aemservers.net.

    Servers Resetting
    Servers that will be released on the first day, will include...
    • Survival
    • Skyblock
    • Skygrid
    • Creative
    Servers that will be released after the release date will be...
    • Prison
    • Zombies
    • KitPvP
    • Skywars
    • Factions
    We'll be releasing the servers above about every 3 days after the release date, so if you're waiting on your favorite server add play.aemservers.net to your multiplayer list and keep checking back to see if they're released.

    FAQ
    I'm sure many of you have questions, here is a 3 question Q 'n' A... Please do not be shy / afraid to ask your own questions in the reply's to this announcement.

    Q. Dwizofizzle, will I lose my rank?
    A. No young man / lady, you will not, there is however a 35% OFF sale right now at http://shop.aemservers.net that will not be lasting much longer, get those ranks you've always wanted because when the reset comes it's going to be lit, fire. One second, I think my house is already on fire.

    Q. When will the reset be?
    A. Well, the reset is very close, be sure to add it to your multiplayer server list and let all your friends know about the reset. We're hoping that in the next 1 - 2 week we'll be ready for a full scale release. We'll release a more informative announcement when we have a set release date.

    Q. Will everything be changed?
    A. Difficult question, we want to bring you a set of servers that no longer have generic features, doing so will be the result of things changing, this is not a bad thing. I have been lucky enough to work with some of the biggest servers and gain knowledge about server building. You will not be upset, there's new builds, color scheme and more custom features for all of you to enjoy.

    Closing Notes
    Please, if any of you have questions about the information above, please reply to this announcement and one of the many active staff will reply to you.

    May I add that all the staff and I have put in many hours to create the best experience for the AEM players and there is no sign of slowing down any time soon.

      1.9 is too buggy, we're going to run 1.8.x but allow 1.9 clients to play on the server normally.

      So you said the servers will be 1.8, with 1.9 clients able to join. Will we still be using the same plugin (bungeecord of whatever it is)? The current version used on skyblock at least, is extremely buggy when using 1.9. It causes client-side crashes quite frequently, and is pretty laggy. You also said that there would be a vote on switching to 1.9. When will this be? Even though there are some who think that 1.9 ruins combat and a good chunk of the game (which it really doesn't...), I believe that staying in past versions isn't the best way to revitalize the community and server.

      You just stated that 1.9 is buggy and i do agree completely, but you contradicted yourself and said staying in past versions isn't the best way to revitalize the server. We're going to stay on a version that is stable but we will keep support for later versions of minecraft 1.9.x.

      What exactly are you trying to say?

      Based of stats from several other mid to large sized networks, a majority of the players/clients connected to the servers with 1.9 protocol support were 1.8 clients.

      and to answer your question with a question, what kinds of servers are on this network? Those kinds of players.

      I didn't contridict myself, but rather say that the bungeecord (or aem equivalence) version that allows aem to let 1.9 players in is extremely buggy, not 1.9 itself. For myself and a lot of people I've talked to (old players that were considering coming back) believe it is more of an inconvenience and annoyance to have to use a non-updated version of the game. I get that not all the plugins are updated to a stable version, but I don't want to have to wait to wait 6+ months for AEM to update (as it has taken for past updates). AEM really got knocked down a few pegs in the last few months, barely anyone on anymore. I've been a loyal player of AEM over the years, and I hope it can move into the future.

      1.8.x is very up to date, 1.9.x is extremely unstable (speaking from experience as i run/ran other servers apart from AEM) I don't see any bugs with the proxy software we use. We've tested a everything thoroughly; Also a big part of why there are so many issues is actually more or less because the servers are running 1.9 and many things are either not able to be updated or running development versions which are very unstable still. The proxy software literally does nothing but network game servers together. I would be more than happy to take in valid information like github bug reports from the official public repositories showing proof of these bugs existing. That being said, a lot of players are having issues with 1.9 on and off of the server. By downgrading to 1.8 and allowing 1.9 clients that gives us more control over what we can and can't do to better the server.

      When/if the time comes for us to push an update for full 1.9.x we will be able to do so without a reset (apart from the few resource worlds we already reset on a monthly basis)


      The servers are currently 100% full 1.9 apart from a few servers that are still running 1.7.x with a 1.8 protocol hack so those servers are without a doubt going to require a reset as they are in very bad shape / very unstable.

      one of those servers being zombies.

      To answer your question Skygrid is coming along very well, it's finished. We're waiting on the epic release SATURDAY THE 23RD. Brb, passing out for another 12 hours, if I do sleep this next 12 hours that means I would have got 36 hours of sleep (with the help of codine) meaning I will not sleep for another week. Yay.

      I'm excited to hear I'll be able to play with 1.8. 1.9 has been nothing but trouble for me! I cant even access the servers anymore from my new laptop. It crashes my whole game.
